Ve omega commodore
Hi i have a 2008 ve omega after going on a short drive and stopping when trying to restart it doesn't crank tried jump-starting with no luck pulled out the starter relay and tried shorting it it would crank but not start the only error codes im getting are oil pressure sensor which I've had for months and catalyst efficiency low my cats are long gone and I've had this code for 6 months within the last month I have had some ecu related errors instruments randomly failing and hvac and radio not turning on I rebuilt the transmission about s month ago

Check the switch cable on the starter motor. The lugs can cause problems as they get old, particularly if they have been removed at some point to remove a transmission. Also check your NSS.

How many km's on the car? might be the starter motor failed?

Friend just had the starter replaced on his VF Evoke by Holden repair and cost just over $1K using genuine parts. Bill shows 3 hours labour for diagnosis and repair time. I think he said 3 years or 60,000 kms parts and 12 months labour warranty.

The car had 178000km but the starter is fine as I can bridge the starter relay and it cranks no problem but then doesn't start
